Coates, regarding the alleged alteration of on article written by Air. Goodfellow for the “Exporter,” at first charging the Government with responsibility for the great losses incurred by the producers in connection with dairy control, but which, he said, when it appeared in print, placed the blame at the Labour Party’s door.
